Now, the real breakthru of folksonomical-based systems like del.icio.us or flickr is not the lack of structure or commitee-based design in the ontological space, but is the idea that if two people use the same term, it's more probable than they meant the same thing than they meant different things.
This article looks at the evolving crop of social bookmarking tools, their functionality and examples of use.

Die Zeit der Kopfjäger
Von Christian Stöcker

H2O playlists are more than just a cool, sleek technology -- they represent a new way of thinking about education online. An H2O Playlist is a series of links to books, articles, and other materials that collectively explore an idea or set the stage for a course, discussion, or current event.
A problem in getting people in corporate silos to communicate is that they do not speak the same language even when they are talking about the same thing. Mapped folksonomy can bridge the language gap.

Collaborative Tagging as a Knowledge Organisation and Resource Discovery Tool
Macgregor, George and McCulloch, Emma (2006) Collaborative Tagging as a Knowledge Organisation and Resource Discovery Tool.
I'm a student or researcher and looking for bibliographic software that...
can manage all my bibliographic data allowing me to search through them with an accuracy and speed that cannot be duplicated with index cards.
enables me to store unlimited quotes, paraphrases and thoughts and to efficiently cross-reference them in a searchable database.
is free, stable and open source allowing me to cast off the shackles of commercial, licensed software.
supports non-English multi-byte character sets.
runs on all major operating systems (*NIX, OsX, Windows).
runs not only on a desktop computer but also on a web server so I can access my bibliography from any networked point or share my bibliography with my research team.
allows multiple attachments for each bibliographic resource.
can export my bibliography in various bibliographic styles (APA, Chicago, IEEE for example).
allows me to edit or create bibliographic styles through a graphical interface.
integrates a WYSIWYG word processor with easy importation of quotes etc. so that at long last I can write an article, from draft through to publication with automatic citation formatting, entirely within the one software.
at the click of a mouse button will reformat my article to another citation style whether that style uses footnotes, endnotes or in-text citation.
WIKINDX is all this and more.
Modern facet analytical theory contrasts with earlier views of knowledge as an integral whole (which is broken down into smaller and smaller units) in that it deals with individual terms or concepts which are clustered into categories to create a 'bottom-up' map of knowledge.
